    Having only made one error directly leading to a goal in 36 Premier League appearances for Sheffield United last season, Dean Henderson has made his first in just three appearances (two starts) in the competition for Man Utd.

    Wow. I've heard of doing your old team a favour but Harry Maguire and Dean Henderson combined superbly for that David McGoldrick goal.

    What a festive gift! It sent the Blades bench and their club staff wild.

    David McGoldrick (5 mins)

    Dean Henderson has had a nightmare on his return! He plays a one-two with Harry Maguire inside the area, Oliver Burke slides in to close down and make the challenge, he wins the ball and David McGoldrick is left with a tap-in!

    Enda Stevens whacks in a cross on the half volley which flies right across the penalty area and out the other end. Decent start from the hosts.

    It might be empty but the tunes are pumping inside Bramall Lane. It's the closest I've had to a night out in months. Anyone got any Red Bull?

    Sheffield United need some fizz tonight if they want to get anything against a Manchester United side who have scored at least three times in all of their five away wins in the league this season.

    Burnley are out of the bottom three with a point. Jack Grealish is fuming which tells you that the home side are massively frustrated with that one.

    I make that 26 efforts on goal now for Aston Villa. Still no way through.

    Nick Pope has made six stops.

    Close again! Jack Grealish cuts in from the right and swings a shot over the bar.

    Villa just can't get it in.
